MacGregor's feud against the Duke of Montrose continued until 1722, when he was forced to surrender. Later imprisoned, he was finally pardoned in 1727. He died in his house at Inverlochlarig Beg, Balquhidder, on 28 December 1734 after an illness brought on by old age and a bad winter,<ref>Louis Albert Necker, ''A voyage to the Hebrides, or western isles of Scotland;: with observations ..., p. 80''</ref> aged 63.

K. Macleay, M.D., in ''Historical Memoirs of Rob Roy and the Clan MacGregor'' quotes, "but he had taken the resolution of becoming a [[Roman Catholic]], and he accordingly left the lonely residence we have described, and returning to Perthshire, went to a Mr. Alexander Drummond, an old priest of that faith, who resided at Drummond Castle." Macleay takes the view that Rob did this out of sorrow for his crimes.{{better source|date=December 2024}}
